why PC Engine is so awesome..

[Tatsujin]

[8bitplus]

Why?... it just is.

[Juste]

Hehe, neat! ^_^

Hucards are still the best gaming media to date in terms of awesomeness.

And the hardware looks insanely sexy - mint condition white PC Engine is still the sexiest machine ever.

Dracula-X.

Running on the PCE it *still* looks good today.

I m failing to see the awesomeness because I have never played on a PC-E.

how a gamer in here could possibly never had hands-on a pce?:confused:

short answer, he lived in Greece. By the time I was a California resident it was N64 time and I being a kid with a limited budget, retro wasn't really an option. It is now, but I have no funds to spare, no space to comfortably lounge the thing and no idea what I m missing out. That said, I was selfless enough to PURCHASE a title on the VC, just to be on your friends' list =)

Well, the last time i played a PC Engine was probably 10 years ago (or more).

PC Engine stuff has ridiculous prices down here.

I've never played one, but I have wanted to. But what does OBEY have to do with the PCE?

[undamned]

Wow, it's been eons since I've seen that movie! For those of you not cool enough, it's from "They Live."

But what does OBEY have to do with the PCE?

In time you will know.

May be true but turboexpress's design rocks for a handheld...

Yeah, cause it's the JP design with with a different logo, unlike the console :banghead:

[Emulation] gives many people the chance to experience fun without resorting to costly, obsolete, specialized or rare hardware, software and monitor configurations...

Uh, did you get lost? Your list pretty much defines Assembler :rolleyes:

Unfortunately, a LOT of Tatsujin's list is a bit of a moot point as they are arcade ports, and not 100% faithful ones. Many have been ported better, and for those that aren't, they pretty much all run flawlessly in Mame.

That's pretty much the criteria I use for whether something stays in my PCE collection.

I've never played one either. Give me 5 good reasons to get one and I might consider it. :)

I'll give you more than 5 good reasons :icon_bigg :

From Tatsujin's list:
Winds of Thunder - stg
Star Parodier - stg
Devil Crash - pinball
Galaga '88 - stg
Soldier blade - stg

From my list:
PC Denjin - stg
Gamola Speed - action
Mesopotamia - platform/action

I have many more games for the system that I enjoy, but the handful of games above are overkill for justifying owning it. I'd own a Coregrafx, just for PC Denjin!

I've still yet to play a PC Engine emu that doesn't vomit all over Magical Chase.

[MoBoRoS]

Ibought a boxed turboexpress the other day and i am ready to play bonk, air zonk and the likes! PCE/Turbografx FTW

[wheelaa]

Woah woah woah. No Turbowhatever talk here. Don't sully the thread, please.

It was awesome in '88 when I first got to play on one. Still awesome now. So few duffers (strategy and hentai aside obviously) in a fairly large library.

[MoBoRoS]

?? I dont get you... pcengine is the japanese name of the console and turbografx the english version of it. I do not get the point of your post.

[7Force]

I think he said that because the Turbografx designs suck pretty bad :lol:

Never had a PC Engine, wish I had one but wouldn't even know where to start with the games.

[MoBoRoS]

May be true but turboexpress's design rocks for a handheld...

nice with the They Live screens, love that movie :D

[MottZilla]

I owned a PC-Engine DUO once and loved it. Unfortunately I had to sell it though. Someday I might get another one but you can still enjoy the system with emulators. One of my favorite games is Lords of Thunder personally.

[_SD_]

I used to have an RGB modded PC Engine Duo R. There's some really excellent games on the system; it's regretable sometimes that I sold it.

If I could get my hands on a reasonably priced minty LT I'd consider getting back into the system. I would however want a Super CD-Rom2 and the seemingly rare converter as I wouldn't want to restricted to just Hu Cards.

Winds & Gate of Thunder are two of the finest shooters I've ever had the pleasure of playing.
